CHAPLAIN CERTIFIED TRIANING

BECOME A CERTIFIED TRAINED CHAPLAIN (BCC)

The world today more than ever needs the chaplain

With natural disasters such as tornadoes, fires, hurricanes, and other unforeseen events, the church has transformed into more than just a place of worship. It has become a place for pastoral care during times of crisis and offers emotional and spiritual support to those in need. Providing care during a tragedy is challenging, especially when someone has lost everything or when parents are grieving the loss of a child. Today, emergency services are relying on chaplains for pastoral and emotional care during times of need.

Providing pastoral care

Our chaplain trainers, some with over 30 years of experience, have successfully trained countless individuals throughout the United States, England, Africa, and the Bahamas to serve as law enforcement, fire, prison, and hospital chaplains. Our specialized program equips individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to meet the rising demand for emergency services responders.

Learn Chaplaincy the right way

As a student, you will learn the essentials of Christian counseling, including crisis intervention, end-of-life care, care for children in crisis, and more. You will also learn how to perform death notifications and how to deal with individuals who are suicidal. Additionally, you will learn Para-Linguistic Communication, which involves reading body language to understand what a person is thinking during times of despair. As you progress through your studies, you will gain valuable communication skills that will assist you when working with police, prison, and other emergency services personnel. Our program will teach you how to avoid the common mistakes that can lead to a chaplain losing their job due to a lack of experience. We can help you achieve your goals and prepare you for the work of chaplaincy.
